On August 30, Resident Evil 4 will land on the PS4 and Xbox One. The re-release will include all the bonus content that was released for the game, as well as the New Game Plus and Mercenaries Mode options.

The announcement came on Capcom's blog , and is likely intended to drive interest in the series and the upcoming release of Resident Evil 7. If you have a PS4 with PS Plus and want to check out RE7, there's a free demo available.
